        <p>If boolean, sets <code>html5Mode.enabled</code> to value.
  If object, sets <code>enabled</code>, <code>requireBase</code> and <code>rewriteLinks</code> to respective values. Supported
  properties:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>enabled</strong> – <code>{boolean}</code> – (default: false) If true, will rely on <code>history.pushState</code> to
change urls where supported. Will fall back to hash-prefixed paths in browsers that do not
support <code>pushState</code>.</li>
<li><strong>requireBase</strong> - <code>{boolean}</code> - (default: <code>true</code>) When html5Mode is enabled, specifies
whether or not a <base> tag is required to be present. If <code>enabled</code> and <code>requireBase</code> are
true, and a base tag is not present, an error will be thrown when <code>$location</code> is injected.
See the <a href="guide/$location">$location guide for more information</a></li>
<li><strong>rewriteLinks</strong> - <code>{boolean}</code> - (default: <code>true</code>) When html5Mode is enabled,
enables/disables url rewriting for relative links.</li>
